medals won. 



The Girl’s Tennis team started 
fresh this year with new, bold 
uniforms and a tight knit team 

with a solid base. As a relatively 
young team, the girls did very well 
this year and showed unbeliev¬ 
able teamwork and persistence. 
At the state tournament October 
13th, Christina Su made it to the 
singles semifinals after winning 
against Mimi Latronico of Pekin, 
but fell short to Abby Kosharek 
of Normal Community in finals. 
Senior Katherine Sampson was 
very optimistic about the season 
and the success of her team. 

“We went into the season with 

new energy, new outfits, and a 
new mentality; we then came out 
of the season successful. Samp¬ 
son said.

Pulling Through 



“By the end of the season we all loved each other; we had 
amazing, funny moments and it was one of the best seasons 

tnopthpr.” -Kavla Bullock 




The Lady Pioneers kicked off the sea¬ 
son with eight returning players and 
four new varsity players; this pro¬ 
vided a solid amount of experience, 
but required the team to re-bond and 
build their relationships. “We were all 
open-minded and pretty relaxed and 
cool about it,” junior and right-side 
hitter Kayla Bullock said. The season 
ended early for the ladies when they 
lost in the first regionals round to 
Central Catholic High School. Despite 
the disappointing end to the season, 
the ladies were able to call them¬ 
selves the Cornbelt Conference Cham¬ 
pions with a 14-0 conference record.

With three senior soccer players, the Boy’s 
Soccer team needed the underclassmen play¬ 
ers to step it up this season. Luckily, the fresh¬ 
man and sophomores were ready to do just 
that. Even though the team lacked experience 
at the high school level, they were full of skill 
and team work that was needed to succeed. 

“With the number of underclassmen we were 

able to have on the team this year, the future 
success of U-High soccer is promising, senior 
Brad Dulee said. The soccer team made it to 
sectionals in the post season this year wdh

On October 26th, 2012, the U-High Pioneers 
football team made their last win against the 
Galesburg Streaks, leaving them 10-0, one game 
short of tying the team’s record. With last year’s 
record of 8-3, the Pioneers had a lot of pressure 
leading up to the season and a goal in mind to 
help them get there; keep strong as a family. 
Senior Gary Arvik was one of many team mates 
to help lead the Pioneers to victory. “These past 
few years were a start of a legacy” said Arvik. 
Not only did the senior players step up as lea ■ 
ers, but the younger players of the team steppe 
up to the plate as well. Even with the hardwor 
and heat of practice, the gup kept positive 
titudes towards the season, it’s been rea y ^

Homecoming this year had a spe¬ 
cial focus from the student council 
as well as the administration to 
make a progressive movement 
in making the dance “classier.” 
Classy, meaning having or reflect¬ 
ing high standards of personal 
behavior, was promoted through¬ 
out the school from funny posters 
to catchy slogans. “Students were 
aware of it more. Student council 
put word out. Kids wanted to have 
fun and have a good night,” acting 
principal Andrea Markert said. 
With the consequence of having 
the dance taken away Cassidy 
Hays junior said, “Kids were more 
encouraged....When upperclass¬ 
men are being classy, underclass¬ 
men are encouraged to follow 
their lead.”

Autumn 19 





















In early November, Orchesis performed a recital contrasting the themes of sins and virtues. Many of the Orchesis perform. 

ers also fill the ranks of the U-High dance team, flaunting their dance skills at every home game halftime. 

The Fall performance consisted of a variety of dance styles, senior dancer and dance team captain Nathalie Kiesewetter 
said, "There are no two pieces that are similar. Also, with variety of moods communicated, the audience was thrown on an 

emotional roller coaster.” 

Orchesis is a class that meets every day during the 7 o’clcok hour and they began practicing and designing the 

choreogrphay in the beginning of September. 

Senior Madison Oakley said the theme was one the audience could connect to. “This concert is certainly one of the most 
creative and the audience should be able to relate to many pieces,” Oakley said.

Athletic Director Wendy Smith was inducted into the Illinois State Athletics Percy 
Hall of Fame this fall. Once a center-fielder for the ISU softball team, Smith has 
assisted the ISU softball program ever since. The award recognizes a “person with 
a high standard of conduct and a character beyond reproach,” for their participa¬ 
tion, support and volunteer efforts at ISU Intercollegiate Athletics, both during their 
college experience and as an alum. Smith began at U-High in 1995 as a Driver’s 
Ed teacher before becoming the assistant athletic director for 9 years. Smith also 
coached basketball, volleyball, and softball. “It's nice to work with people who 
have high expectations and are motivated in what they do,” Smith said of her work 
in the U-High community. Math teacher and assistant athletic director Michael 
Sondgeroth, who coached basketball with Smith, said he was proud to see her 
recognized for her accomplishments. “It’s was an honor that was long overdue,” 

Sondgeroth said.

Dr. Tami Dean began impacting 
U-High before the school year even 
started. She transformed the old 
Learning Center into the U-Link 
Literacy and Learning Center. In 
addition to the name change, the 
space underwent a makeover. “All 
the changes were made to add 
to the new culture of the center,” 
Dean said. Also new to U-High was 
the U-Belong campaign, which ac¬ 
companied the U-Link and the fall 
play, “The Laramie Project.” Like 
the U-Link, U-Belong promotes 
bringing people together to show 
the many sides of the U-High fam¬ 
ily. “U-Belong was created to show 
that everybody belongs here,” 
Dean said, “it goes with the U-Link 
center because it focused on link¬ 
ing people together.”

Thirty-five seniors were eligible 
to vote in this year’s presidential 
election between Gov. Mitt Rom¬

those who could not vote were not 
to be excluded. From mock elec¬

Senior Audrey Keen considered 
herself well-informed amongst the 
student population, and looked for 
hope in a president. “Tm looking 
for a president that will work to 
help the American people, a presi¬ 
dent that will enact change where 
change needs to be,” Keen said.

was looking forward to having fun on

ting revenge on other teams we haven't 
beaten in the past that I think we can 
compete with,” Sellers said. 


1 ms season the laay pioneers started oH preparing themselves for a successful and 
fundamental season. “I feel like we’re going to be an all-around solid team due to 
all the depth we have,” Junior Destiny Ramsey said. The girls basketball team had 
many expectations for this season that they wanted to see fall through to make this 
season one to remember. “My expectations for this season are to be successful and 
work hard as a team, the success comes from working hard in every practice and 
every game,” Junior Pie Wilson said. This season they faced a big change; having 
no current seniors to give that extra leadership out on the court given in years 
past. But for them this is something that they didn’t let hinder them from having a 
successful season and fulfilling all their expectations. “When there are no seniors 
on the team there are positives and negatives. The negatives would be you miss out 
on that senior leadership that we had in the previous years, but the positives would 
be that you know you will have all your kids back that are younger players that will 
have to have that leadership earlier,” coach Laura Sellers said.

The school year has opened up many 
gateways for creativity. From the 
creation of the first snow club to 
end of the year biology projects, the 
students of University High School 
are finding ways to be creative. One 
such endeavor has involved incorpo¬ 
rating new ideas into the the 
class. With what has seemed like 
years of hard work and patience, the 
engineers are coming close to reveal¬ 
ing the student-built car. Building 
this car has been one of the largest 
hands-on opportunities given to the 
students, second only to the work of 
theo techies of the theater realm. 
Junior Dhruva Patil said he is excited 
about the final product. “By the end 
of the year we hope to make this car 
street legal,” Patil said, “we’ve got to 
make it look nice, like an actual race 
car!”

Senior Cole Sondgeroth enjoyed taking 
on the new challenge of being leader 
for the team his senior year. Whereas 
Senior Ryan Matchett had a differ¬ 
ent challenge of his own going into 
this wrestling season. Matchett had a 
leftover injury from football this past 
year. “It was hard coming into the 
wrestling season so late, but it was 
defiantly worth sticking around for,” 
Matchett said. Coach Mike Troll told 
each wrestler during the season, “Life 
is all about butts you can either kiss 
them or kick them.” Sondgeroth and 
Matchett took this advice to heart and 
they both really stepped up as seniors 
and as leaders for their team leaving a 
good example for next year's wrestlers.

Bla©klight 

“I thought it was fun, it was cool to have the 
band there to change up the vibe during the 
actual dance.” -Martin Coughlin 



1) Students wore white, a popular color in Blacklight, to be able to glow under 
the light and be seen. Students enjoyed other student DJs and student bands as 
well. 2) Seniors Ben Edwards and Ben Schweitzer bust a move on the dance 
floor with friends. 3) Sophomore Tyler Gatto and friends helped to DJ at Pio¬ 
neer Palooza and the Blacklight dance. 


As a recently new and con¬ 
stantly changing tradition, the 
Blacklight dance proved to be 
one of the best this year with 
a fantastic turn out of students 
and much excitement. “With 
Pioneer Palooza being held at 
the dance, there was so much 
more student involvement and 
support among everybody,” 
junior Kira Webster said. In 
years past, there were some 
issues with inappropriate 
dancing and behavior, but this 
year the main focus was the 
student bands and their talents. 

“It was amazing to see the 
student bands at the dance; it 
created the perfect atmoshpere 
for dancing and music,” junior 
Kayla Bullock said. With the 
dance being held after the boys 
basketball game, the energy 
was carried over from the court 
to the dance floor and made 
the night hard to forget. “I 
really liked the idea of taking 
the Blacklight dance to a whole 
new level by incorporating 
Pioneer Palooza and the dance 
together into a night students 
can really enjoy as a school,” 
Webster said.

Operation U-L©arn: 

Netbooks 


„ ^ e years ago whai the administration aedura to 

school year of 2013, they are looking into hybrid tablet/computers for students and some teachers are testing iPads. 
"The biggest issue students come to the help desk for are printer and internet problems,” senior and tech help consultant 

Francis Favis said. 

Despite ongoing internet issues, printer problems, and s-drive snags, the pros outweigh the cons in terms of school work. 
In the event you cannot get internet on your netbook, smartphones are the next best option. Smartphones are more 
common among students due to the promotion of Apple’s iPhone 5 before the New Year. 

“More people own smart phones than before. That can go either way. Things are a lot more convenient; on the other hand 

you can become spoiled and lazy,” Favis said.

Students love the atmosphere they get from class, and sophomore Matt Wittman says that it is 
something you can’t get in every class. “We are happy to be there and have a lot of fun producing songs. Not only am I 
growing musically, but orchestra helps me in many other areas,” Wittman said. Some of the enjoyment has come from the 
student involvement in selecting the music. They have researched and hand-picked music they found interesting not only 

for performing in class but the concerts as well.

U-Crew 

“When the U-Crew is there, our team knows that it’s time to play 

our best.”-Nick Schroeder 


Following last year s many successes in athletics, the U-Crew has shown a growing number of supporters and fans. Students 
have created t-shirts that have become very popular and this has helped build their own support section for their fellow 
classmates. New time-out traditions have begun during basketball games; for example the roller coaster, where a senior 
leads the crowd in bringing out an excited atmosphere. Specifically, senior Ben Schweitzer has taken over the job of U-Crew 
leader at the basketball games; leading in chants, the roller coaster, and when to sit or stand. Schweitzer said he thinks that 
regardless of numbers, our U-Crew is ready to support the team at the right moments. “Our performance has been spotty, 
but when the time is right, we get rowdy and can cheer,” Schweitzer said. Having a fan section at any school event is always 
something that everyone looks forward to. Feeling supported helps out a team and their victories, senior basketball captain 
Nick Schroeder said. “Without the support of your school, it’s hard to go out there and get pumped about the game. When 
the U-Crew is there, our team knows that it’s time to play our best,” Schroeder said.

U-High softball has had an un¬ 
usual line-up this season, dealing 
with a lack of upperclassmen. 
Softball lost many players from 
last year's season, and was left 
with lots of open spots for the in¬ 
coming freshman class. The talent 
and teamwork this year is what 
has made this season enjoyable 
and successful said sophomore 
Hannah Watson. 

■We have a lot of young talent and 
team chemistry, which makes it 
fun to play and be around each 
other. If you make an error, there 
is always someone there to pick 
you up and give you confidence to 
make the next play,” Watson said. 
The team has had a lot of success¬ 
ful games, but also a lot of games 
to learn something from. The 
team's success has had a lot to 
do with key contributors and the 
family like relationship the girls 
share said junior Lauri Riddell. “I 
am very proud of how we have 
played so far this season, and a 
lot has been because of consistent 
contributors. Freshman Alyssa 
VanValey has been solid on the 
mound and holds her own against 
older and more experienced hit¬ 
ters.” Riddell said.

The Practice ©f Filming 

“It’s been fun to film teachers and friends in a school I’ve spent four years at.”- 

Emilee Gibson 


Classes and students have been taking ad¬ 
vantage of all the technology advances in the 
world, especially with film. Students have been 
filming inside and outside the class room, for 
projects, Class Night, and for fun! Senior Emilee 
Gibson has been filming for Class Night during 
her free periods and after school. “It’s been 
fun to film teachers and friends in a school 
I ve spent four years at,” Gibson said. However, 
not only does making a short film just take the 
effort of a video camera, but it takes dedicated 
time on a computer to edit. Senior Alex Walling 
ss put in over seven hours into a video project 
or teacher Mark Adam’s film class. “Editing is 
my favorite part of filming,” Walling said, “just 
^^eing it all come together is worth the time put 
into it.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a New 
Principal and Assistant Principal 

“Remember, everyday is a great day to be a pioneer!” 
-Andrea Markert 




Gabe Petersen 

Senior Gabe Petersen will be attend¬ 
ing U of 1, Champaign in the fall with 
an undecided major. Reflecting on 
his childhood, Petersen said, “I have 
a Harry Potter scar on the left side of 
my forehead that I got from tripping 
on the brick side of a fireplace. I had 
to get stitches.” 


Through months of meetings, interviews, and searching, interim assistant princi¬ 
pal Andrea Markert was declared official principal in April of 2013. Markert started 
her first debut in U-hHgh when she was assistant principal for the 2010-2011 school 
year. It was not until the end of 2012 school year that Dr. Jeff Hill was promoted to 
superintendent, and a new spot for principle opened. To fill that spot short term, 
Markert was designated interim principal, and former biology teacher Steve Evans 
filled in as interim assistant principal. Then the race began! Sophomore Martin 
Coughlin was passionate towards his choice candidate. “1 can’t believe there was 
even a decision to make! Mrs. Markert is really the best. And team Markert/Evans 
is going to make the school even better,” Coughlin said. And to Coughlin's surprise, 
his wish was granted as Markert was announced principle and Evans assistant 
principal. “Remember, everyday is a great day to be a pioneer!” Markert said.

Each year, the present senior class 
graduates and continues on into 
the next chapter of their lives, but 
the class of 2013 was anything 
but the ordinary class. There were 
siblings, friends since elementary 
school and so many other con¬ 
nections that were made before 
and during high school that were 
only made stronger at U-High. 
The three student speakers spoke 
of these connections, great sup¬ 
port given to them by parents 
and teachers, seeking dreams 
and thinking of more than the 
immediate circle formed around 
each individual. 38 students were 
involved in the National Honor 
Society and so many more were 
involved with volunteer and 
leadership services. With these 
skills and millions of dollars in 
scholarships, the class of 2013 
began their new journey as adults 
with confident minds, full hearts 
and spread themselves across the 
country from the east coast to the 
west coast.

Notional Ohompions 

Graduation came and went, but a few Pioneers still had work to do. The U-High Speech & Debate Team attended the Nati 
nonal Forensic League National Tournament in Birmingham, AL in mid-June. These competitors faced students from 966 
other schools from all around the US, China and Korea. Seniors Audrey Keen and Olison Ogunmokun closed out the Exposi 
tory Speaking event bringing home the first and second place trophies. Expository Speaking requires the performer to create 
an original piece that uses humor to inform the audience about an unusual topic. Coach Mark Adams noted that is exception- 
dly rare for the top two speakers in any event at the National Tournament to hail from the same school. Ogunmokun was 
also named a National Octofinalist in Humorous Interpretation. Senior Jay Simmons likewise brought home multiple awards, 
achieving National Quarterfinalist honors in both Impromptu Speaking and US Extemporaneous Speaking. Seven Pioneers ’ 
represented the school at NFL Nationals, the largest academic contest in the world. In addition to Keen, Ogunmokun and 
Simmons, seniors Ben Edwards, EJ Newbie and Alex Wolansky and junior Ethan Schueler each contributed strongly to a great 
finish to the season for U-High Speech & Debate.

COLOPHON 

By Emma Ronczkowski 

Kayla Palmer, Julia Kirik, and I had taken Journalism as juniors, but from the second we all 
walked in senior year we knew we had lots to create, organize, and countless stories to cover for 
the 2012-2013 school year. All three of us liked the writing aspect of it, but 1 came to love every¬ 
thing about it creating a yearbook: photography, design, and tracking down stories. We got a 
grip of the system and daily routine pretty quickly and we worked well as a team which helped 

make this year and this book a success. 


Julia covered photography, Kayla took the lead on the newspaper and 1 
designed and created the yearbook. With new computers, and new social 
networking outlets this year, we had to keep up with current technology 
and learn to get our content out there. 


Kayla updated “The Clarionette” home page, connected us to the school, students and parents through Twitter and 
Facebook, loaded all of our stories, and so much more! She was our primary story editor for “The Clarionette”. 1 
honestly could never have done any of this without her help identifying people, helping edit yearbook stories and 
finding out the little details to help make stories that much better. She advanced us technologically wise while 
Julia helped teach the seniors and our junior how to maximize their photography abilities and help them under¬ 
stand that photos are really truly worth a thousand words. 





r-. 


All of our seniors and our solo junior. Brie Hines, improved so much from month to month and story to 
story. We all realized we needed to step up and fill in for each other with such a small class; the teamwork 
of this class was unique and amazing. I’m so proud of all of them and thank them from the bottom of my 

heart for all their help and serious determination. 


140 Clarion 






























^special thanks to our very own Ms. Reiman! Teachers are hard workers. nH .k 
hours into helping and caring for their students, but Ms. Reiman did 
jnp create and edit the yearbook and “The Clarionette.” She’s a simprh

Finally, to our solo up and coming editor, Brie Hines. You are such a 
creative person and have so many ideas ready at any second which will

wnextyearbook masterpiece! I have faith in your abilites and nice 
job hanging in there as our only junior.
